Statement by ALDE-PACE
14.10.2013
The ALDE-PACE is concerned about the recent reports on alleged persecution of Yabloko regional leaders and activists Andrei Rudomakha (Krasnodar), Sergei Pogodin (Tver Region) and Svetlana Chechil (Karelia). On multiple occasions, the ALDE-PACE and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe declared that politically motivated criminal prosecution or termination of employment contracts were unacceptable. We hope that the situation around the alleged persecution of Yabloko activists will be resolved in full conformity with the principle of the rule of law.
